Your neat thread design is attention-grabbing, WowCheBit. I welcome the point that You are willing accept escrow from the start, too. The discussion above raised some questions in me, though. May I ask, what amount do you consider "low quantity"? Such information may worth to include in the thread in order to avoid unpleasant cancels, but as always, it is your service and your choice.
sure ... I mean low amount Amounts of less than EUR 50 ... in fact many users have contacted me where they wanted to trade in 5, 15, 10 euro ... what 'would force me to increase to the fee .. . but I do not I want INCREASE ... so I do not accept amounts of less than EUR 50 .... then repeat again who, if does not trust , accept 100% escrow Thank you for explaining! Alright, I can understand the fee part. So, the minimum amount is 50€ or a value equal to 50€ in the actual currency. On request, do you exchange other crypto currencies too (like Doge) or strictly the listed ones? I will need exchanges from BTC to the following currencies in the future: Monero, Ethereum and Doge. And I would prefer to use one service to check all. |

I usually follow the threads where I have post and I would still find interest in this one, but no answer since a month? Not to play any game with you or similar, but if I do not see any update related this service in the following 48 hours, I will consider this service dead.

This regret came onto my mind in the meantime and this is a shut out to everyone to look out for: when I created my first online wallet, it was in a site that seemed alright. Had proper authentication process, premium GUI...etc. and my first few transactions arrived well into my balance. Problems started when I had to send BTC to other addresses. I had to figure out that this site was a dirty one. I could not change transaction fee and site added hilariously high transaction fee to each transaction. So I lost a high amount of BTC until I saved out the remaining part into other wallets.

Am using blockchain.info for both my web and mobile wallet as its the most convenient for me.
And for all my altcoins I have stuck to desktop wallets.
Alot of people prefer web applications over desktop applications. A major factor why these people have this preference is accessing web applications is more convenient than having to use the desktop version. This fact pulled a trend in every areas in which trend web applications are replacing desktop applications. But in crypto, desktop wallets are more appreciated. What could be the reason of this paradox between the two trends? Privacy, security? |

So, how is your store OP? I have been following the suggestion here and from all what I can understand is having Steam as your competition shuts out for solution. But you have more than one possibilities and I am excited to see how you will implement this project.

You do creating bots custom?
Yes, you may contact me with your idea if you have any desire. I can create custom Telegram bots with the official Telegram API, Telegram bots with custom hooks (like a desktop application) or custom application for advanced bot projects like Microsoft's Azure. |

I have a good handful of btc and could use a little work on Social Media
I simply need some of my website urls shared on various social media platforms to help increase my social signals.
I can pay 0.0012092 BTC ($1 @ $827 usd =1btc) per url shared. If interested contact me on Skype: earnbtc_1
You have a nice offer there, but considering that amount of BTC and its current value, I have some honest doubts about whether your offer is still valid or full. What requirements do our accounts have to have in order to get that amount of BTC for an URL share? Because, you know, I would be very happy to get that amount for sharing your URL, but I can understand if it comes with additional requirements. |

"Bitcoin" is indeed a very good name for a crypto-currency. But there are already some other existing cryptocurrency names that are interesting and nearly on the same "quality level". (I talk here only about the names, nothing more). "Monero" is an example. The name leads to associations with "money" or "coins" in many world languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and even German. That's an advantage versus Bitcoin, although Monero lacks the connection to "bits and bytes". "Peercoin" is also a very good name, because it relates to the Peer to Peer principle. In my opinion, it's on the same level than "Bitcoin". "Ethereum" is also not bad. It sounds a bit "nerdish", but the name looks like that of a precious metal or a rare chemical element. Dash, NXT, NEM, Ripple and Steem are particularly bad names. Also "Bytecoin": In my opinion, it sounds like a copycat. If there is a Bitcoin established as a brand, then "Bytecoin" will be to Bitcoin as Adibass to Adidas, for example  A crypto's name is like a business card for a company. It does not make the crypto any better or worse technically, but it has an impact on the crypto's reputation and a crypto's reputation has real value. For example, a crypto that has a copy-cat name suggests the crypto cannot provide any innovation, just wanna copy the other crypto's success. In this example, people would prefer the original over the copy. So, name will not make any crypto #1 or last, but it has impact on its reputation. |

There is nothing wrong in tipping especially where one is generating some form of return or benefiting in one way or the other but the issue there is that, I dont think people really take it serious and some people have equally abused the process. You can see a signature asking for a tip or an announcement who has not even communicated anything about what he/she is offering still asking for a tip. As a developer, I dont think its ok to wait for a tip if you cant afford to give it free then sell...
Yeah, what you can or cannot afford should taken into consideration as a heavy factor. The idea of tipping is nice, but in case you can afford to give your product for free then why not giving it for free and in case you cannot afford to give it for free, you should not base the return on tipping. After all, tipping's place would be somewhere in a free service/product where it is not too obvious but where the right people can find it with some research. |

The Chinese miners do have the larger equipment, larger mining power, larger power consumption and yet has the greener and lesser cost per kW/h. It shouldn't be a matter of $ in the long run since you know, we burn too much fossil fuels to have electricity and we are here, trying make money out of burning something most of the time but hey, $ is more important than this world itself. But anyways, mining is becoming more and more efficient as we progress and look for greener ways to mine bitcoin and that is really, really good if you might ask me.
That is an interesting concept. I had some idea related green or, at least, greener equipment solution in the past, but I did not get much support related it. Maybe the trend is changing now, but in my experience people prefer the familiar solution over an innovative, but young technology. It is a kind of paradox since BTC is an innovative, alternative technology too but factors are changing when someone starts to look at BTC as a continous business instead of a long-term investment. Anyway, how are these Chineese miners "greener"? Never heard about this claim. |

Yeah, I am looking for a similar service like BitPay, but in the reverse. I want the client to be able to pay with a fiat payment processor like PayPal and I want to receive it in BTC. So, the exchange in between should happen automatically or semi-automatically and in the anonymous way.
if you are talking about developing this type of thing, the foundation would be using both bitpay, since you chose that already and Paypal will work. use the paypal IPN feature to, or use the url field in your paypal button setup to trigger the API for bitpay It is a good idea, but doesn't such a service exist already? If yes, what is the service's name? I would not necessarily create a new service when someone put this very good idea into a stable implementation already. Thank you for the advice, though! |

I don't find it hard when I started with bitcoin, we all start from newbie but our dedication will help us learn this things easily. It's not hard now because the information if free, it's written all over the internet and it's like a public library with comprehensive information on it. If one cannot understand that, then there's no way he can comprehend bitcoin easy.
But not everyone is dedicated especially when he is new in BTC. Alot of people are open-minded to hear about BTC, but will not dedicate their time to do their research simply because they are not convinced that it worth their time. These people need good reasons to spend time on reading about BTC. We need articles that raise their motivation in the positive meaning. |

here is the issue.
instead of making it a 2 part consensus
nodes first
pools second
blockstream decided to skip the hard consensus and went soft requiring just pools to form consensus.
the problem.. smart and risk averting pools wont flag desire for something if the nodes they send this new data to are not full validating nodes to double check the new data.
so while the node count is low. pools are not in a rush to change.. as there are risks of letting unupdated nodes just pass data on blindly.
it should have always been a real consensus vote. and core(blockstream) just thought they could slip it under the rug before christmas by bypassing real consensus by making it soft.. but pools wont risk it
dont blame pools when it was blockstream paid devs that decided to make the pools the decision makers. rather than a full community vote
In this case, I do not see how Blockstream would mean any solution. I would say leaving the decision to the community and then expecting the community will organize itself and choose and move forward in one direction is not a possibility, but again let us remember how alot of people did not believe in Linux developers because of the same reason and still it magically worked out very well. Could the difference in niche mean this much? Could the words of people's financial interests ruin the co-operation that we saw in the Linux world? An interesting sociological experience. |

It is so interesting to see how many people believe someone is "controlling" things. I guess it is the way humans tend to think. It reminds me of all our history. In the past no one could fathom that the weather was largely random and invented Gods to make sense of things. I suppose they wanted to feel like they had a sense of control. "Maybe if I pray hard to the god who controls the weather he will help?" In reality no one controls the weather.
Linking the way how weather changes to fantasies roots in the unknown or more precisely in the lack of will to know. BTC is difficult to understand for a newcomer because it is the first truly decentralized financial network so it is just certain people imagine an entity that controls it. What we actually need is more tutorials that explain EASILY and in details how the system works so people could accept and understand this "decentralization". |

But I cannot tell my IRL clients to use XAPO credit card for a purchase when they just want to buy a product. I think, getting a credit card that supports crypto has an overcomplicated process compared to the service that I have to offer. The same goes for localbitcoins. Doesn't that place work like the client has to choose a "nice" seller first, contact him, discuss with him ... etc.? I am looking for a more "automatic" solution.

I think china who controls bitcoin because of number of population. It's a large community who use bitcoin. maybe usa have a big hand of controlling bitcoin market.
I think, no nation can control BTC because there is a common dependency between every major-in-power nation. Of course, China has a significant influence on BTC purely from its huge amount of miners, but it is not like it has souverinity on it. USA, Russia and I do not even know what financial groups could have major influence on it in the same time. Powerful groups of people INFLUENCE, but no one controls BTC. |

Thank you for explaining the development process! I understand now how BTC is being developed and the problems with it. I find the idea that the people who are developing BTC are different personalities than the developers of Linux very interesting. I think, the personalities that a project attracts have major impact on the project's development. In BTC, we cannot separate it from our direct financial interests. But I think the more important problem is the diversity of community. As it is written in the core protocol, users have the power to decide which direction BTC will move further. Core developers take care of its technical requirements. But since the different sections of the community have very different financial interests, reaching consensus seem to be almost impossible. Will crypto's future be the eternal war of coins? I keep it possible after all.

Since BTC has a decentralized network, the question pops up that how the "core developers" can develop it?
Isn't changing the software means the power of influencing how the network is working?
I am writing about the development of the original BTC blockchain, not the altcoins.

In my country you have the odd Bitcoin vending machine, but they only allow you to convert limited quantities. The biggest obstacle in
mainstream adoption, would be the involvement of the banks. The governments and the banks seem to be working together to place
obstacles {red tape} in Bitcoin's way to slow down adoption. { Examples : BitLicense & KYC/AML regulations }
Yes, I know about these BTC vending machines. Actually, a similar solution would be fine for me. I am looking for a method to transfer fiat to BTC DIRECTLY. Like someone visits one of these vending machines, types in some address, puts in some fiat and receives BTC soon. We had one of them in the town where I am living, but it was closed down. |
